nope you sure don't. They are 'lowfat custom' The wire and banana plugs are actually from Monoprice. Sleeving is MDPC.

Odd some of them look like they are actually the red sleeving that rocketfish uses

[lcdguy]

they definitely are not. I have those banana plugs and they are definitely monoprice. I haven't bothered to do my wiring up nice since i live in an apartment currently and can't be bothered. On a side note. You should buy a bunch of ends, sleaving and make some common lengths similar to the rocketfish and sell them for 1/2. you would still make a ton of cash.

I was thinking about that but my receiver is a bit old and doesn't have any HDMI inputs. My TV won't pass surround sound so I'd still have pretty much the same problem. Wouldn't mind having a nice new receiver anyway.

Yeah it looks weak but it's actually pretty sturdy. I forget what it was weighted for when I got it but it was a nice bit more then my TV. It's been sitting just fine for two years anyway. My TV isn't too heavy either (only a 40 inch).

well i love my marantz, but then again marantz isn't for everyone. I also like the recievers by denon and yamaha. stay as far away from sony as possible.

Since my living room is a disaster with working on my HTPC, I just took some pics of the screen and projector for now.




Have an anamorphic lens in front of the projector to elimnate all black bars on all movies
